I wasn't going to update this early, and then I thought, "What the hell?" Who needs to be early for work, right?
I had nothing special to write about, until Real Rhapsody queued up Eminem's "Lose Yourself" and all of a sudden I'm reminded of when this song was invading Top 40 radio and how I adopted it as my Get Through The Bullshit song. I have a feeling that in the coming weeks that song -- along with Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" and a few others -- will become my fight song. Notice the date? It's May 06, only 16 days (give or take my shitty math) until graduation, and then starts what's going to be the most stressful time of my life -- The Days Leading Up to the Great Move Out.
Mom's going to give me high holy hell, I just know it. She's having problems letting go (has since I was in high school) and even though she won't admit it to my face, I know she thinks MB is controlling me and telling me what to do. Heaven forbid I have an idea of my own. I haven't had my own idea and it be okay with Mom since I was about 11. I readily admit I've made some wingnut decisions over the years, but moving out of this house and in with MB is one of the good ones, I promise, I swear. So, if in the coming weeks some of my entries become rather bitchy, feel free to use my mom as a scapegoat. I know I will.
I'm being observed today during my roughest class. Hopefully the two girls who have become known to me as Pain In The Ass #1 and Pain In The Ass #2 will calm down a bit knowing the principal (who is also my supervisor; hi, no stress there, eh?) is in the room not only watching my every move, but the class's as well. I have a feeling, though, that all this will do is provide them with a bigger audience. Gawd, help me.
Starting Monday, I have one week left with the 7th graders. My last day with the 8th graders was on Wednesday. After that, I have a week left at my placement, then graduation. Holy cow, where has the time gone?! Didn't I just start there? How can I be done already? But I have lots to look forward to once this placement is done -- graduation, Mandy's Memorial Day party (from what I hear, it's a blast with alcohol for as far as the eye can see; that's not the reason I want to go but damn, it's an incentive), the family reunion (my first as (hopefully)truly Independent Ter and MB's mom's (belated) 4th of July party (all on the same day, can we say exhausted come bedtime?), applying and interviewing for jobs, time with L and D, time on the farm, lazy summer days with MB and warm summer nights with the Capital Area crew.
Godspeed, graduation. Godspeed.
Meanwhile, I'm being inducted into the International Education Honor Society on Sunday, which, for the slower among us, is also Mother's Day. It's also Race Sunday, so I'll definitely be busy.
Happy (early) Mother's Day!
Thanks for reading,
Ter
